This dessert combines rich brownie with creamy cheesecake and fresh raspberries. It’s a wonderful sweet treat for sharing or enjoying yourself.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Fresh Raspberries: Use ripe, firm berries for the best flavor and look. They add a lovely tartness to the cheesecake.
- Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. This helps it mix smoothly without lumps for a silky filling.
What You Need
- Brownie mix (or ingredients for your favorite brownie recipe)
- Cream cheese
- Granulated sugar
- Eggs
- Fresh raspberries
⏱️ Time: 60 mins🍽️ Yields: 12 slices
How to Make It
Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Base
Start by preparing your favorite brownie mix according to package directions. Press the batter evenly into a 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15 minutes, then take it out and let it cool slightly while you prepare the cheesecake layer.
Step 2: Add Cheesecake Layer and Bake
While the brownie cools, beat cream cheese with sugar and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently fold in some fresh raspberries, distributing them well. Pour this cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie base and bake until the cheesecake is set and the edges are slightly golden.
📝 Final Note
Cool this cheesecake completely on a wire rack before chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. This helps it set perfectly for clean and beautiful slices.
